The S3 would have been perfect, being a 2.0 turbo DSG, but it's such a shame that it's not imported to the US. Can't get it here as well.

The REs are on my shortlist since the RS-GT is not available on the A3. How wide can I go, Arling? Some 245/40/18 all around would be sexy.

Arling,

Wow, the E39 M5 uses an 8" wide front wheel wrapped in a 245/40/18 from the factory. Sure you can't run atleast 235mm?
